In 1947 the pilot of a small aeroplane saw nine strange objects in the sky over Washington. He said that they looked like 1 . Newspapers printed his story under the 2 "Flying Saucers".

Since then, all over the world, people have 3 seeing similar strange objects. No one knows  4 they are or where they come from. Some people say that they do not 5  , but many others say that they have seen them. Usually people on the ground have seen them 6 not always. Airline  7   also have reported seeing them and so have   8    ── the men who fly in spaceships.

Perhaps some people saw them only in their  9 . Perhaps some people made a mistake. But airline pilots and astronauts do not usually make 10 of this kind．Captain Ed Mitchell, who was the sixth man to 11  on the moon, said in 1974 that he believes that some "flying saucers" are  12  . Many other people now believe that these  13  flying objects are visiting the 14   from other worlds in space.

The American government   15    to find out more about these objects. It listened to a great many people who said they had  16   them. But the Government Committee could not decide on what the objects were. It called them UFOs, which is   17   for "Unidentified Flying Objects".

In 1964, a driver of a police car in New Mexico saw a UFO landing a mile away. When he reached it, there were two small figures   18    near it. They looked like little men. When he reported on his radio, they got inside the object and   19  away.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　The U. S. Department of Labor statistics (collection of information shown in numbers) show that there is an oversupply of college - trained workers and that this oversupply is increasing. Already there is an oversupply of teachers, engineers, physicists, aerospace experts, and other specialists. Yet colleges and graduate schools continue every year to turn out highly trained people to compete for jobs that aren't there. The result is that graduates cannot enter the positions for which they were trained and must take jobs, which do not require a college degree.

　　On the other hand, there is a great need for skilled workers of all sorts: carpenters, electricians, mechanics, plumbers, and TV repairmen.

　　These people have more work than they can deal with, and their incomes every year are often higher than those of college graduates. The opinion that white - collar workers make a better living than blue - collar workers no longer holds true. The law of supply and demand now favors the skilled workmen.

　　The reason for this situation is the traditional myth that college degree is a passport to a bright future. A large number of people in American society connects success in life with a college degree. Parents begin forcing their children to believe this myth before they are out of grade school. High school teachers play their part by acting as if high school education were a preparation for college rather than for life. Under this pressure the kids fall in line. Whether they want to go to college or not doesn't matter. Everybody should go to college, so of course they must go. And every year college enrollments (注册) go up and up, and more and more graduates are overeducated for the kinds of jobs suited to them.

　　One result of this importance on a college education is that many people go to college who do not belong there. Of the sixty percent of high school graduates who enter college, half of them do not graduate with their class. Many of them drop out within the first year. Some struggle on for two or three years and then give up.

1．From the passage we can know in the past ________.

[　　]

A．white - collar workers made a better living than blue - collar workers

B．blue - collar workers were looked down upon

C．white - collar workers were looked up to

D．blue - collar workers made a better living than white - collar workers

2．The underlined word myth in the fourth passage means ________.

[　　]

3．By saying that “many people go to college who do not belong there”, the writer means that ________.

[　　]

A．many people who do not have enough money go to college

B．many people who go to college drop out within the first year

C．many people who go to college have their hopes destroyed

D．many people who are not fit for college education go to college

4．We can infer from the passage that the writer believes that ________.

[　　]

A．college education is not a help in getting a job

B．people with a college education should receive higher pay

C．fewer people should go to college while more should be trained for skilled jobs

D．every young man and woman should go to college
